Had a pretty full on week this week. Heaps of stuff happened and a lot of ups and downs. I guess that is the part and parcel of life....
Lydia's car broke down and we didn't have transportation to college the whole week. We had to call people up to get a ride. Felt really bad relying on other people for transportation. The people that had been giving us rides had been such an awesome blessing to us especially me I would say. The mechanic came over and check the car. If Lydia would to fix her car, it will cost her more than 1,000 AUD to fix it. The mechanic tell her to get a new second hand car than fixing it because it's not really worth the time and money. The issue now is that Lydia have no money at all to get another and all. Therefore, I am actually planning to raise fund for her to help her out financially. So if any of you want to be a blessing by donating money to me and my housemates, please contact me through my MSN Messenger or e-mail me.
Encounterfest was happening in church from Thursday till today. It was really happening I would say. The preacher, Judah Smith; is such an awesome speaker. He is just hilarious and he brings you into the story and impact lives. He is just awesome. There were 3 guys that came from the Bronx, USA. These people are full on breakdancers. They are just awesome man. Very talented people. They have foodstalls setup outside near the parking lot, pampering section for the girls, street basketball, skating park and et cetera.
As for tonight, we recorded United Live album in the Convention Centre. It was the very first time that the youth ministry in Hillsong had their meetings or recording in the Convention Centre. They normally have it in the Ministry Centre which is a little bit smaller. There were heaps of people there and the place was packed. As for the songs, man, it's extremely cool. You guys really need to get hold of the album when it is out next year. It's very different, very rock'ish', just different.
Today I was confronted by someone that was pretty harsh to me. Well, I learned that I am stronger and it doesn't bother me at all now because I know that the enemy will always try to pull me down and make me feel small, intimidated and sulky. I was having a pretty good time in Encounterfest. Had some really good conversation with Jerry, Ashley (it's a guy alright!) and some other people. There has been some pretty serious things that happened for the past few days as well but I am not going to mention here because it's pretty personal. I felt really bad and regret all the things that I had said. I hope things does not affect our friendship.
I realized that sometimes being a friend that cares is just so hard. You want the best for your friends but on the other hand, you don't want to cross the line or be too extreme. But when things happened and you did not advise them or grab hold of their hand when they are falling, it seems like you are a friend. On the other hand, if you are too nice, people might think that you rather spend time with your friends than someone you like (kinda sounded like lesbians or gay). Things are just so confusing. I don't know. I really need to think straight and keep my mouth shut when things comes into my path.
Alright, need to sleep now. It's 4 a.m. Good nite!
